The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy listed it as one of Donald Trump’s accomplishments – and it was news to the actual coronavirus taskforce

The White House declared Donald Trump has ‘ended the Covid-19 pandemic’ – leaving officials fuming.

The bizarre declaration was made by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy yesterday.

They listed ‘ending the Covid-19 pandemic’ as one of President Trump’s major accomplishments since taking office in 2016 in a new report.

It read: “From the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Administration has taken decisive actions to engage scientists and health professionals in academic, industry, and government to understand, treat and defeat the disease.”

But officials on the White House coronavirus taskforce are reportedly upset at the claim – with one telling the Daily Beast it was “mind-boggling”.
